DW Performance Series 18x22 Bass Drum Fusion Rock Shell Pack - White Ice
Item: DWDRPL1822KKWHFRK
Drum Workshop executive Vice President and Drum Designer, John Good, explains, “We really wanted this kit to sing, and at the same time, have a sound all its own. This shell wouldn’t have been possible without the past several years of research and development under our belts. Shon Smith, from our custom shell shop, and I really worked hard to change the way that drums have been made for decades. This new technology allows drummers to really get into the subtleties of the instrument in terms of tuning range. These new Performance Series drums are no one-trick-pony, they can do it all.”
DW Performance Series 18x22 Bass Drum Fusion Rock Shell Pack - White Ice
Features:
- STM™ - Suspension Tom Mount
DW's
patented STM™ (suspension tom mount) system allows drums to vibrate
freely, allowing maximum resonance while securely holding the drum in
place. Because there are no washers or grommets inhibiting the lug rod
receiver, choking is reduced and tuning is as easy as ever. (U.S. Patent
#5520083)
Performance Series
drums are available exclusively in Chrome Hardware. This includes lugs,
hoops, STM™, and tom legs. The Performance Series "turret lug" is a
scaled-down version of the famous round DW lug, while the snare drums
get a unique tub-lug look all their own.
Performance Series drums are available exclusively with our standard Chrome plated Steel 21" legs.
Performance
Series are available exclusively with Chrome Standard Triple Flange
Hoops to give your drums a great versatile sound.
To
give drummers even more control over their sound, DW created its
patented True-Pitch® rod system. The rods feature 10/32 threads rather
than the 10/24 that’s standard on most other drums. The result is a more
exacting tuning process. True-Pitch® rods are only available in chrome
and gold.
Once a shell has
been baked under pressure, we take it right out of the oven and place it
in a pressurized cooler to ensure that the glue instantly crystallizes
and the shell hardens to a perfect cylinder. The proof is in the tuning!
DW
Coated/Clear heads by Remo USA come standard on all DW drums and
incorporate a coated tone ring for just the right amount of muffling
with plenty of resonance. Crimped flesh hoops provide maximum vibration
and durability. (U.S. Patent #5920021)
Performance
Series offers a brand new shell technology devised by John Good and the
DW Custom Shell Shop in California. Combining the latest grain
orientation technology and hand-selected North American Hard Rock Maple,

fundamental, with ample resonance and projection that's perfectly suited
for live applications.
